Holding the photo album, Xiaolan continued flipping through it, exclaiming with great surprise, "Was this photo taken five years ago? Look, I'm in it too!"
In the photo, Xiaolan is holding a pool paddle with her arms outstretched, trying to block everyone behind her. Unfortunately, she is too young and small, and everyone behind her is laughing heartily.
At that time, Kogoro Mouri had already separated from Eri Kisaki, but he didn't look dejected at all, and he didn't keep his signature mustache.
Perhaps at that time, Xiaolan was unable to take care of herself, let alone manage the whole household in an orderly manner.
After seeing the photo, Noriko Ayashiro nodded and said, "This was taken when we played pool together in the pool hall back then, so I included it."
When the topic of billiards came up, Nakamichi Kazushi suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go play billiards together later? We don't have anything else to do."
As soon as she finished speaking, Horikoshi Yumi's expression turned very strange, just like someone who was visiting Beika for the first time and suddenly found out how many people had died in the cheap house they were renting.
Noriko Ayashiro looked on, somewhat puzzled. "But aren't we supposed to watch the fireworks this evening?"
Sonoko Suzuki is very supportive of any event featuring handsome men, and she was quite clear about the timing of the fireworks display: "It's okay, the fireworks show starts at six o'clock, and it's only three o'clock now."
Looking at the clock, they realized it was still a few minutes before three o'clock, and everyone agreed to the suggestion, except for Horikoshi Yumi.
"I don't want to play. I suddenly feel a bit tired, so I'm going back to my room to rest."
Kogoro Mouri grumbled discontentedly, "She's still the same; she always puts herself first."
Akutagawa Hiko knew what was going on. Originally, Nakamichi Kazushi had arranged to play table tennis with Horikoshi Yumi alone, although it was to deal with the old photos of the two of them that she mentioned.
Now that Nakamichi and Shiro have invited so many people to go together, doesn't that represent a breach of promise to some extent?
Yumi Horikoshi was never a kind or gentle traditional woman; she was capable of committing illegal acts such as sending threatening letters and making threatening phone calls.
Therefore, it's not hard to predict that they will get angry.
However, Yumi Horikoshi, who doesn't live in Beika, obviously doesn't know how dangerous it is for a person to be alone, especially since she is in the midst of a whirlpool involving marriage and relationships.
Often, to avoid becoming a victim, one must become a perpetrator.
Akutagawa Hiko was somewhat uninterested, after all, he really couldn't understand why he would make himself all sweaty right after soaking in a hot spring, and Conan, whose height was not even taller than the pool table, naturally did not play.
Moreover, Conan was really concerned about Horikoshi Yumi's reaction after Nakamichi and Shi suggested playing table tennis together.
Although it's called a billiards room, there's only one billiards table inside. After all, most people who come to hot spring hotels are there for the hot springs and fireworks. If it weren't for the fact that some people think playing billiards is a good idea after soaking in the hot springs, there wouldn't be a billiards room.
After playing a round with Sonoko, Ran wasn't sweating much. Curious, she asked Nakamichi Kazushi, who was also sitting nearby waiting, "I heard you won the national individual tournament?"
With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Nakamichi nodded with a hint of pride and said, "That's right, it was during my third year of university, just that one time."
Sonoko Suzuki, having a close friend who shares a passion for karate, was well aware of the prestige of winning the national championship and couldn't help but exclaim, "Didn't you say you were the strongest in the club?"
.
Unexpectedly, Nakamichi Kazushi shook his head and looked at the ceiling: "If we're talking about who got the best results, it's definitely me, but there's someone in the judo club who's even stronger than me, just without any results. You all know this person—"
Atsushi Omura, who had just run to the restroom, suddenly ran back. Kazushi Nakamichi, who was about to reveal just a small part of Kogoro Mouri's legendary life, was suddenly stunned: "Didn't you go to the restroom?"
The billiards room is quite a distance from the restrooms. In that short time, you could walk back and forth without running all the way, unless you were planning to relieve yourself there.
"No—it's nothing—"
Conan glanced at Jun Omura, who was sweating profusely, and thought it was suspicious. He was also worried about Yumi Horikoshi's safety.
However, as Nakamichi Kazushi said, there really isn't enough time to do anything.
So Conan asked Kazushi Nakamichi, "Uncle Kazushi, why did you and Aunt Yumi break up?"
Ran Mouri quickly covered Conan's mouth and apologized to Kazushi Nakamichi, saying, "I'm very sorry, but Conan didn't mean any harm."
Nakamichi Kazushi, however, seemed unconcerned and laughed heartily: "There's nothing wrong with saying this. It's mainly because our personalities aren't compatible."
As you've all seen, Yumi can be quite willful at times.
"And after so many years of trying to make it work, we knew we weren't right for each other, so we broke up in the end."
Conan stroked his chin. It sounded like an amicable breakup, but Conan's intuition told him that the man was lying.
In the past, Conan didn't really trust his intuition. After all, as a detective, he always had to present the facts and evidence.
However, Hiko Akutagawa put forward a very interesting idea: intuition is when you notice something that you should ignore with your current abilities, but your brain is reminding you.
Moreover, since he started training, Conan feels that his intuition has become stronger and more accurate, so it's okay to trust it occasionally.
Just as he was about to share the information he had obtained with Akutagawa Hiko, he noticed that Akutagawa Hiko stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom too, I'll be back in a bit."
Conan quickly followed, "I'm going too!"
Before Ran could react, Conan had already slipped out. She couldn't help but remark, "Conan really sticks to Hiko."
Sonoko, however, acted as if it were perfectly natural: "This little brat likes deduction, and Ahiko is a very skilled detective, plus he's handsome..."
He has a good temper, and compared to that middle-aged man who knocks on his head all day, of course he'd stick close to Ayan.
Ran Mouri thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
Conan jogged along, only to find that Akutagawa Hiko was standing in Nakamichi Kazushi's room, staring at him with ill intent.
Conan, understanding his mission, pursed his lips and resignedly pushed open the door to the room. Akutagawa Hiko, in order to catch the brat who had broken into someone else's room, had no choice but to follow him in.
"What do you think—"
Before Conan could finish speaking, he was startled by the handgun that Akutagawa Hiko picked up through his handkerchief—the very same Misswell M439 that the police had a bounty on his head for.
The fact that Nakamichi and Shika are police officers, and that they carry guns when they're not on duty, speaks volumes!
